Here's what the President has recommended Congress do and what he will do through Executive action and Orders.

As you can see...he's not coming to get your guns. In spite all the anguish, weeping, wailing and predictions of dire days ahead, he's actually proposing very little which is new. In fact, you might even say this response is a little tepid and it has disappointed the most rabid gun grabbers.

What say you now? Will you apologize for all the manure you've spread, for all the lies you've told, for bombarding us with your facile, simplistic, ideologically driven conspiracy theories?

i thought not. After all...it's STILL Obama....ain't it?

To be done by executive action:

1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system.

2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.

3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.

4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.

5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun.

6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.

The rabid right has destroyed its integrity and its credibility on constitutional matters during this past week. Pretty stupid tactic now that the real issues are on the table, and not the ones they drank so greedily from their piss buckets.

Here's what the President has recommended Congress do and what he will do through Executive action and Orders.

Pay attention, people!

That's HIPAA -- you know, the act that is supposed to protect your health-care privacy? So now, your background check will include substantial delving into your medical records. In order to buy a firearm you will be required to give up your privacy -- which, by the way, is another Constitutionally-guaranteed right. So, do you really want to be forced to trade one right for another?

Remember, people who pass background checks by current standards are already law-abiding citizens -- so the above is tantamount to "search" without cause or evidence of any crime.

3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.

4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.

5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun.

So, now they can seize firearms from law-abiding citizens, and hold them "until a full background check" has been processed? I assume that means that they can seize any firearms, anywhere, even in your home?

6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.

10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement.

11. Nominate an ATF director.

12. Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations.

A better idea would be to allow school employees (who already pass the most stringent background checks possible) to concealed-carry if they have permits. Had only ONE of the office personnel at Sandy Hook been carrying a firearm, Lanza would never have made it to that classroom.

"Maximize"? WTF does that mean? Does it mean that now, instead of simply responding to reports of crime, law enforcement is now supposed to... what? What does this mean?

14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.

15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies.

16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.

Now instead of asking where I hurt, my doctor's going to be nosy about my weapons...

17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.

... and if I say "where I hurt is in my rear, 'cause it's a pain in the ass to answer all these questions about my firearms when all I have is osteoarthritis in my knees!", is my doctor going to report that I became "violent"?
